Welcome to Litsy!

This was just as good as Crazy Rich Asians.

Travelling the world one wedding at a time with the 1% crowd, who have problems I'll never have (thank F for that).

Pure escapism. 😁

“Sometimes my Mama is laughing. Sometimes she's shouting. But all the time, she is trying to save the money for the chair.“

This book can inspire discussions about perseverance, family support, and financial literacy. Students could write about a time they worked toward a goal or create their own savings jars, tying into social-emotional learning and practical life skills.

This book is a Children's Picture Book that was a Caldecott Honor (1983) and was published in 1982. It tells the story of a young girl, her mother, and her grandmother saving coins to buy a comfortable chair after losing their home and belongings in a fire. The detailed portrayal of their journey toward healing and rebuilding their life makes it an enduring classic in children's literature.

This is a heartfelt book about a family who endures a house fire and loses their belongings. I love this book because it touches on topics such as the importance of community, and experiencing an altering event.

Still ignoring all my part read novels for non fiction on #kindle.

Christmas shopping season seems to have triggered my anti consumerist mindset lol.

This is the 3rd edition from 2014. Still has plenty of relevance but will be behind the ever increasing curve, given the horrors of Tik Tok shop, Stanley Cup frenzy etc

I zoned out a bit while listening to the audiobook so my review is not to be trusted!

5⭐. You need to read the first book "Lawn Boy" before reading this one. Middle school level. Less than 200 pgs.
